The prerequisite to this quest is https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=1269 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=1269, which you start in the Shady rest inn, Dustwallow Marsh. There is a tiny badge at 29.8, 48.2, lying on a board.

As expected, if Ogron dies you will fail this quest. If you do, and run away from the mobs, they will remain there and you'll have to kill them if you want to retry the quest right away. Can anyone confirm if they eventually despawn?

This quest likes to bug. Sometimes one or more of the four mobs that spawn show up as friendly. This prevents you from attacking them, but doesn't prevent them from attacking and killing you and/or Ogron.

The quest also breaks if Reethe hasn't died yet because there is still one of the quest mobs alive after failing it. Ogron wanders over to talk to a guy that isn't there, and nothing else happens.

The quest also fails if Ogron dies, even if you kill all the other mobs yourself. Make sure you take all the aggro as Ogron can't handle even 2 of the mobs by himself.

When you turn this in to Krog, he gives you another ""The Black Shield"" quest (https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=1276 https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=1276 ) where you gotta find Mosarn (https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=4943 https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=4943 ) in TB.

Weirdly enough. I found this quest a bit difficult. Its good to send pet in to agro the mobs wile you can because they can deal a bit of damage on Ogron and kill him quickly as I learned in my first attempt, Also, If you do, make sure the crocs around you are killed just in case you fear or run back. don't want to be killed by a croc.

Found this quest to be quite hard when attempting it with my shaman. Ogron cant even take on a single mob and he managed to die on me, when the guy he was bashing only took around 30% damage. Unless you can deal damage to multiple mobs, be it either multishot or retaliation it would be best to ask someone for help.

Long story short, if you cant kill atleast 3 lvl 37 npcs on your own dont bother soloing.

For those druids attempting to solo this quest, I'd like to tell you it is possible. I did it at level 35. First, clear the entire area around Reethe's camp, especially the crocs behind trees, or anything on the neighboring islands thats too close. Next, buff yourself and Ogron. Follow him in your normal, non-shifted form. When the privates appear, stand in the center of their group and cast rejuvenation and regrowth on yourself, for some nice HoT's while you fight. Switch into bear form, and use Enrage to build up some rage before the fight begins. Kill any critters nearby, if you can. Anything that helps. When the 3-4 NPC become hostile, they should all go to you. Smash away at all of them you can, and keep aggro off of Ogron. I had to heal twice, and use a health potion halfway through. Towards the end, after my heals, I didn't have the mana to switch back into bear. At this point, if it happens to you, just kite the remaining NPCs around the island, and use the trees to your advantage! Cast Regrowth on yourself whenever you can, and eventually Ogron will finish them off.

If you happen to die during the course of the quest, just wait- I died with Private Hallan at 55% health. Since I had buffed Ogron ahead of time, he was able to finish her off without dieing. I didn't release, and once he had killed her I got completion.

There you have it-> Soloed by a level 35 druid. It was tough, but possible. Feel free to try my strategy. ;D

If your a Priest, you will draw agro from anyone not being attacked by Ogron if you heal him, so be prepaired to fear the 3 mobs that come @ you. Dot and Destroy the one Ogron is on before the other 3 come back from fear, heal Ogron if needed. Kite and dot the next one Ogron is attacking and continue to kite and bubble until you can cast fear again. Rince and repeat. It helps to kill the few crocs surrounding the island, because fear will agro them. If you have to drink a potion drink a mana. Heal with Aids while fearing if your low on life. THE KEY FOR A PRIEST IS KITE.

Another tip, clear the crocolisks in the surrounding shallow water before you start the quest. Ogron will sometimes chase after the mobs that are running in fear and aggro nearby crocs, which will likely kill him pretty quickly.

Ogron is one of the few ogres that I've encountered that can speak without that ogre touch.

Quest still seems to be bugged, for me at least (post patch 3.1). After questioning Reethe was still alive but quest was not completed. Abandoned quest, wait for Ogron to reappear at start. Do quest all over. Second time it did complete. No biggie if ur can handle the 4 spawned mobs, seems faster than a GM ticket.

For anyone who may be having trouble getting access to this quest, for whatever reason, i had to do https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=11186"">(Quest #11186), and then it became available, not sure why it wasn't available before.
